As a third generation Floridian growing up in South Hillsborough County I have a unique perspective of the farming community along with water supply and quality. After farming tropical fish and catfish I started working in governmental affairs for a Florida water management district. Recently, I was asked to serve as the executive director for the International Responsible Farming Council (IRFC) the IRFC administers the International Member of Precision Agriculture, a best management certification designed to reach the American consumer.
